Lee Child on Radio 4's Front Row

Lee Child was on last Wednesday's Front Row programme:

Bestselling British writer Lee Child on creating one of the most popular heroes of current crime thrillers: Jack Reacher, ex US army special investigator, who returns in Child's new novel Nothing to Lose.

Mark Lawson investigating the life and work of the leading Victorian detective Jack Whicher, in the light of a new book by Kate Summerscale. Whicher's most famous case inspired novelists such as Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins.

I saw a poster at Kings Cross this morning, likening Jack Reacher to Jack Bauer to encourage people to read. I am just waiting for the publicity for the next 24 series to liken Jack Bauer to Jack Reacher to encourage people to watch.
